Fingerprinting and you

I never promised TIMELY entries.

Anyway, I just LOVE this one (storyhere). Ok, this is either really bad reporting or there is a huge loophole in this. It says in the story ” Tourists and business travelers on short visits from 27 mostly European nations are exempt from the new measures.”

A) If this is a reporting error, will only residents of those 27 countires be exempt, or will ANY arrival from those countries be exempt? Because if it’s the second part….

B) “Well I want to terroize America. If I leave from country X they will fingerprint me and take my picture. If I fly to country Y first and THEN on to America I can just walk through. Gee….which should I choose”

The article also goes on to mention ” The program was launched at 115 airports and 14 cruise ship ports across the country, but not yet at land borders, which account for a large part of traffic into the United States.” Can you imagine that headache at ground borders? Oh my goodness. “Well I got in line on Monday….it is now Thursday.”

Folks, I am all for protecting our country, but this one just reeks of all show and no substance. I really do not see how this will protect us. It appears to me be all for show to make us feel safe.
